New RhinoTurf Pitch Unveiled for Youth Sports in Gansbaai

At Grootbos, we love wild fynbos landscapes, twisted and knotty shrubs, fiery florals and soaring spears of restios. We also advocate for indigenous home gardens that are waterwise. BUT in another environment, we adore artificial turf! For the world of youth development through sport, artificial turf is the gold standard in team sports and offers children and teens from townships, a real opportunity to change their life pathways through soccer and hockey, and compete with sports teams from any background on a level playing field.

In this photo, Johnny from RhinoTurf got up close and personal with this beloved brand new turf being laid at Spaces4Sport. The Grootbos coaches (and community) cannot wait to be able to unleash their best sports moves when the pitch is officially launched on 29 Jan 2025!

Thank you to Premier League and RhinoTurf for making our dream come true by replacing the old turf which was first laid in 2008! The old turf had been loved to tatters.

Look at the video how RhinoTurf lays a premium artificial turf. The 'grass', our hearts (and the glue!) are green, and we can't wait for this brand new pitch to be ready. Thank you to the English Premier League and RhinoTurf for this astonishing gift and investment in the community of Gansbaai, and in the belief in the promise of hope that sport gives to so many children.

The spirit of the 2010 Football World Cup in South Africa lives on in Gansbaai!
